Ai Portici

Genuinely brilliant food. The pizzas and pastas we had are worth coming back for - Cinghialina pizza and orecchiette

July 2023.
What an amazing little gem. Just 8 minutes walk from Via Garibaldi in Old Town. Just far enough off the tourist track to be a true local hangout.
I was served some of the best food of all time during my stay in Monopoli. I onestly can't rate it highly enough.
The staff were amazing, the food was tasty and menu prices were very fair and affordable.
Looks nothing from the outside don't let that put you off visiting.

It's March 2024 and I'm still thinking about the beautiful meal I had here and wishing this restaurant was in Dublin not Italy. Like a form of homesickness.

One of the best pizzerias around and likely the best in Monopoli. Exciting combinations (matching wild boar salami with saffron accentuates its taste), luxurious options like pizza Fénice, fitted with a generous portion of fresh tuna tartare alongside other ingredients, and great spins on old classics like Regina affumicata. We were doing pizza take out and the service was prompt and kind, and without any hassle or unnecessary delays, despite a full house. Heartily recommended!

I came here at the first day of my trip to puglia and felt really nice - the food was delicious (also the desert!) and the people were really nice! I came a second time and liked it a lot!

We were told this was the best pizza in Monopoli and it lived up to its name. We got the 'mediterean' -- the raw buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil -- and it was AMAZING. The tomatoes were fresh and so fragrant. We also got the tomatoes/capers/anchovies, which I totally recommend. The service was fab -- they welcomed us in at closing time and even helped correct my bad Italian! 100% recommend

We heard this was the best pizza in Monopoli and it’s hard to disagree!! Regina (pictured) was delicious, as was the Diavola. Very reasonably priced too

This is one of the best pizzas I had in my life! The fresh ingredients, the air in the dough, I mean everything! The service is amazing, the waiters are super quick a d efficient. Really loved this place and we will definitely come back again

We went to this restaurant 3 out of 6 nights because it was amazing. Best service, the best Hugo spritz, freshest seafood and the best pizzas ever!! Thank you so much for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!!!

Best pizza of our trip so far! Food was delicious and the service was fantastic, we had a really great evening.

Absolutely one of the best place to have traditional Puglesian dinner in Monopoli. Quality of food is simply amazing. We took Grigliata Mista di Pesce (great!), Orcchiette con braciola di asino (pasta with donkey meat in tomato sauce – great!) and superb pizzas – Braseola and Diavola. Prices are more than reasonable. Best food we have had so far in Monopoli

Pizza was great! Chicken cutlet dinner was terrible but if you stick to pizza, you can't go wrong. They were VERY busy on Saturday with a wait outside.

I had the best pizza of my trip in this restaurant. Truffle oil was an amazing touch to an already great pizza!

By far the pizza in Monopoli, prices are very good. Unfortunately, they only work from 7 pm onwards.

Delicious and fair prices, i liked

Fantastic pizza, couldn't recommend enough. Loads of variety, really interesting toppings, great quality

Great place to get a true Italian pizza. The staff was very kind and very accommodating. The restaurant itself is not very special, but it is about the food afterall. Would recommend to anyone looking for good food!

Best pizza ever

Amazing pizzas in a great atmosphere with friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend eating there if in Monopoli. Very popular so would definitely book in advance

Excellent pizza, loads of choices. Would definitely go back.

Perfect pizza, the portions are good, service was good as well. Be careful saturday was very busy, better to make a reservation. Lot of variates, better download menu online and have a look properly. Definitely recommend.
